Maeve Marsden started blogging because she likes talking about herself. She has since discovered that other people are interesting too.
By day she edits Made You Look magazine for the Don’t DIS my ABILITY campaign. By night, she bakes, sings (in both appropriate and inappropriate locations), plays soccer and rants about politics and her personal life.
Brad Syke, or Lloyd Bradford Syke, to give him his full due, is a veteran (as you can tell from the photo) adman, film-maker, journo, would-be politician and all-round, unabashedly left-leaning stirrer, provocateur and ratbag.
He seeks equity for all. Well, all except Peter Reith, Alexander Downer, Philip Ruddock & John Howard.

* Dan’s views are her own except when she disagrees with herself or has accepted a bribe.

Lillian Starr is a burlesque performer and a queer rabble-rouser from Sydney. She is a voracious culture vulture of both the high brow and the low, low, low brow arts and has sustained many a groin strain by trying to keep a foot in each camp.
These days, between a busy performance schedule and watching a blurred multitude of shows, she has become quite the dirty stop-out, so therefore carries spare underpants with her at most times.
Sarah Langston aka Bettie Brimstone is a freelancing, blogging, social media addict and writer who moonlights in marketing and communications. She often collaborates with Susy Pow of Bird In The Hand zine shop to create and facilitate events around independent publications – specifically zine making.
